GOP transition: “Forks are big”

Roll Call has a story about the House GOP transition team, which is sifting through “dozens of rules, schedules and other proposals offered by members,” including talks about the congressional cafeteria.

Republicans won the majority after the November election.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican and a member of the House Operations Working Group, told Roll Call that while “committee jurisdictional fights are probably the most pressing matter that needs to be acted upon by the Conference,” the “notoriously inadequate plastic utensils” in the Capitol complex cafeteria have also been a topic.
